Charge of Assembling
Her Cook.

New York June 2l.-Mary Irene Hoyt,
the daughter of Millionaire Jesse B. Hoyt,
whose will she is now disputiDg, has again
distinguished herself, this time in Engle-
wood, N. J., having assaulted her cook, Q
conductor on the train and q constable who
attempted to arrest her, and was finally
lodged in Jail early last evening In Hscken-
sack, having been committed for the Grand
Jury in 81 900 bail. She was released near
midnight, friends in Englewood coming to
her relief.
One month ago Miss Hoyt engaged a
neat cottage in Englewood. No attention
was paid to her by the neighbors until
Thursday night, when she roundly abused
the conductor of the AZ train, whom she
ordered to put on special car for her &C
cemmodation, and subsequently threw
her cook out of her house.
On Tuesday last Miss Hoyt began her
series of exciting episodes. Accompanied
by her cook, Ann Tierney, who has been
in her employ four months, she came to
this city. What followed ia best told In
her servants own words.
ave vent to Miss Hoyt's house, 4A Lex
inston avenue, on Wednesday. Miss Hoyt
gave me S. and told me to insert an adver-
tisement in the World for servant girls.
The girls came the next day and she stood
on the middle of the stairs and asked each
girl as she came up to her If she was good
girl and asked them If they had not been
inmates OF disreputsble house. She had
been drinking heavily. On Monday night
in Englewood she sent me out for bottle
of brandy, and on Wednesday / bought
another bottle of brandy in New York.
She drank all OF it herself. She remained
in bed In her New York house all day
Wednesday. She finally engaged laun-
dress and we started home on the 6:42
train for Englewood, When the conductor
came along she commenced to swear
at him and call him names, because he
said he could not get special car for her.
When we got out at the depot at Engle-
wood Miss Hoyt took some of the bundles
and started to walk to the house. On the
way up she kept dropping the books and
talked so wildly that crowd OF boys fol-
lowed us to the house. then told Miss
Hoyt that her conduct was disgraceful.
She ordered me to leave the house and
never come into it again. / told her 1t
was too late; that couldn't 60 out at that
hour. She then grabbed hold of me,
knocked my hat off my head, tote my dress,
and threw me out of the front hallway,
where we were standing.

ran for a policeman. / met othcer
Townsend, who accompanied me back to
the house. When the officer cot there
Miss Hoyt seized the Bible and swore an
awful oath, that she never touched me. de
arrested her, however, and all the way
down she tried to get at me, and once when
the officer tried to protect me she struck
him in the facs."
Policeman Townsend corroborated all OF
the servants statements. The prisoner
was turned over to Col. Jameson, the
President of the Englewood Protective So
ciety, who accompanied her to the Grand
Union hotel, this city, where he housed his
charge safely for the night. Yesterday
Miss Hoyt was taken back
to Englewood and was ar
Ranged before the Justice Dutton on the
charge of assault and battery preferred by
her servant. When Miss Hoyt heard the
charge she seemed to have lost all control
of her temper, and seizing the commitment
papers, which lay on the Justices desk,
tore them in pieces. She reviled the JUS
tice, her servant and the constables. Jus.
tice Detler held the heiress to millions in
81, 600 bail for the Grand Jury. She was
removed to the Hackensack Jail.
Miss Hoyt arrived at Hackenssck at
o'clock. She appeared to be quite over.

as the officer led her into the jail.
"Oh, spare me, spare me this" she
sobbed "do not lock me up; pray let me
90. Oh, horrors, prison !"
Sheriff Brinckerhof assured Miss Hoyt
that she must remain quiet and that she
need have no fears. She was then escorted
into the warden's department, where she
almost fell on the acor, and it was thought
that the services of physician would be
necessary to quiet her. The Sheriff abso-
lutely refused to allow anybody to see her
Last night Judge Skinner reduced Mis-,
Hoyt's bail from 81 600 to $3.50, and
